Santa Fe New Mexican seeks a business reporter

The Santa Fe New Mexican is looking for a reporter who can best inform our readers about Northern New Mexico’s business scene, one that includes a wide range of story and career opportunities.

The New Mexican is a locally owned and independent newspaper, blessed with a thoroughly engaged readership. You’ll lead the newspaper’s business coverage on a daily basis, produce a once-a-week business page and play a key role in drawing and keeping readers both in print and online.

Our newsroom is robust and diverse and you’ll be surrounded by busy, productive colleagues who care about doing great journalism every day, not just when the spirit moves them. You’ll also be a key liaison to the community, one that thinks of the newspaper not only as a media outlet, but often as a community treasure.

Enterprise and self-sufficiency are critical to this position. We’re looking for someone who can produce great business stories with a minimum of supervision and loves the freedom to innovate.

Job requirements:

  1. Bachelor’s degree and three years ‘ experience at a daily newspaper.
  2. Strong reporting and writing skills, with an eye on telling stories in non-traditional ways, both in print and online.

Salary and job title are negotiable, depending on experience and demonstrated ability. Send your cover letter resume and clips of your best work to: Phill Casaus, Editor, Santa Fe New Mexican, pcasaus@sfnewmexican.com. No phone calls please.

The New Mexican offers a comprehensive and competitive compensation package and is an equal opportunity employer.
